Introduction
AI-supported digital health services are fundamental to healthcare transformation. In recent years, when many were stuck at home due to the pandemic, we observed a massive adoption of digital health services. The rise and prevalence of digital tools minimize the need for in-person visits and allow for widespread care. Patient-facing tools that evaluate symptoms and triage cases help alleviate the burden on front-line health workers. Remote patient monitoring systems enable more robust disease prediction and prevention systems. All of this is underpinned and driven by the collection and processing of large data sets to power advanced analytics and AI.
In this panel, our guests discuss their experiences and perspectives on working with intelligent healthcare solutions, problem-solving, and developing AI in healthcare.
